Hello Tarek, this error message is normally the one you get when CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT doesn't point to your 10.9 SDK. Please delete your build folder again and do `export CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT=..` immediately before running cmake. Running e.g. a conda install will sadly reset this variable to something different and break the build.
As a sidenote: It looks like in 1-2 months that conda-forge will get rid of the SDK requirement, then this will be a bit simpler.
